1911 Shopping

[T4rdV4rk]

Oh trust me! I'm dying to get it and take it shooting! Iwant it soo bad im selling my bird hunting gun for it! Ill have pics up the day I get her!

Well what are you going to do now? I don't think 45 acp is too good for upland game or migratory birds.

HAHA! i have a old over under 410/22 combo gun i can use till i find another shotgun i like.

The trigger was fair (i say about 3-3.5 lbs pull)

So you bought it or what? That's a pretty darn light trigger. Let's see some pics dude.

Not extremely so. But, I'd still gauge it to see. Sometimes the pull is actually heavier than we think, if the transition is very smooth.

3 is light to me but I am a rock ape so all a matter of perception. All of mine are right at 3.5 or a bit higher. I want to intend for the gun to go off.
I have been looking for another 1911 lately but nothing has jumped out at me or given me the shivers. Looked at and fondled everything I have seen....no joy. Am I cured of the addiction.?? Oh what will I do now??

Well that was part of it, the trigger was sooo smooth! and it didnt travel at all after dropping the hammer! Minimal slop up and down, over all a very tight feeling trigger. Its was a smooth sweet click!

A short while back, I handled a Kimber Super Match from the Custom Shop.
Every single one of us that tried the trigger were like, "Holy crap! That has to be 2.5#!!"

A 1911 armorer guessed "3.5, but super smooth."
We gauged it.
It was well over 4.5.
Awesome.

Ok...I am still an addict. I searched out a new Springer RO today and I am touching it between posts...The gun folks....the gun

Bob had one out in Plainfield. I had been to a few shops today and I called ahead. They just got one as there were none last week. They were kind enough to hold it for an hour so I could get out there.
I have had 2 of these before this one. Let them go for some reason I have yet to figure out. This one is staying.

He was too busy to sing today. Needed a full contact stance to get through the crowd. Business is good....real good.

I have always been treated well in his shop.

PSS is a great shop. It's a long drive for me to get there but I have bought a few guns from them.

Did they have any Sig 1911's?

They did last week. I was in and out today as I drove to Scottsberg from PSS to pick up an AR. Busy day. The safe is full again.

sigs= nice; colt or springfield= very nice

I had a Sig Tac Ops w/ threaded barrel and really liked it a lot. But sold it off. I have since been looking for another railed 1911, but wanted something like Colt or Springfield...
Well I just picked up a very nice Springfield TRP Operator w/ Full Rail in a trade so my wish came true....

[JWAS]

JWAS, you're a decent photographer.

 

[JWAS]

THANKS!!!!

That last one i couldnt get enough light with or without the flash. Next time I'll bring some more lights. lol.

I think the Ruger @ $7.50 is hard to beat.
It and the Springfield are great shooters and fill your hand nicely.
I have been disapointed in the S&W.
